Prof. Douglas MacAyeal was quoted in a recent AGU Eos piece about penitentes on Europa, which could make landing on the Jovian moon difficult. Congratulations, Prof. MacAyeal!
The article sprung from a paper coauthored by Prof. MacAyeal, Prof. Dorian Abbot and Lawrence Maclagan Cathles, now at the University of Michigan. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-glaciology/article/intrasurface-radiative-transfer-limits-the-geographic-extent-of-snow-penitents-on-horizontal-snowfields/C4A22464F35B9FEDC0FF8E86B0C9FDBA/core-reader
